At a time when digital connectivity is stronger and imperative more than ever, so too is the importance of understanding our clients' position in their own connectivity.

Our most recent special edition series with GC Magazine, In-House Technology in Latin America, offers insight as to how our clients have been implementing technology and unexpectedly preparing for a time, like today, when providers globally are almost entirely accessing and analyzing through digital means. In the article, Growing Up: The Rising Importance of Technology, we get a glimpse of how 96% of in-house counsel surveyed have been making use of technology to gain efficiency, organization, and improved access. Counsel stressed the importance of technologies like AI and CMS software to increase preferences and awareness enhancing client familiarity to better guide conversation and approach. Very few in-house counsel felt technology could replace a lawyer's work; to the contrary, the expectation was that these tools would enhance the relationships if leveraged correctly.

As the world works remotely, and we ensure our access and ability to connect digitally to resolve global situations for our clients, visually showing strong established relationships that can react at a moment's notice through offerings like the WSG Global Task Force become invaluable. We encourage you to promote your firm's COVID-19 team within the WSG Global Task Force, and we remind you to review our special edition series In-House Technology in Latin America and In-House Technology in Europe to get a sense of clients' expectations during these unprecedented times.
